Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered.

Will like the ground; won over 1m1f here last year and has dropped back to just 1lb higher mark; ground too soft first two starts this year; latest 6l Curragh defeat can be marked up somewhat (upset in stalls and met some interference) and generally runs this track well.
